I'm quite a fan of Near Death Experience records and research. I know about the various hypotheses to account for them (Blackmore's 'Dying Brain' hypothesis, featured in House, confabulation and false memory syndrome) and the various peer-reviewed rebuttals to such hypotheses. The AWARE study has set out to try and investigate claims of veridical perception.
I've come across only one core experience account of the Christian theory of hell. The guy who had it was a born-again evangelist, who swore that gays and other such abominations were burning eternally.
Juxtapose this with the core NDEs of born-again Christians who, in one common example, discovered that homosexuality was 'immaterial - love is love'. It's rare to hear of an NDE, particularly a core experience, that was negative - and even then, the experience is about spirits' distance from the 'god-force', or 'the light'. It's absolutely nothing like that holier-than-thou bastard claimed.
Since he's the only one I've come across and I have a very healthy interest in this subject, I'm forced to conclude that he was either lying his ass off or dreaming. He missed several important features of the accepted NDE criteria, while hitting all the core aspects. Methinks he was doing what you guys do: Making Shit Up.
So kindly shut your judgmental mouth. Fan-fiction is fiction. If you want to enter the arena of those who take NDE accounts as spiritual fact, then go to a reputable source and do some actual research. NDEs have yet to be fully accounted for in each hypothesis, and the subject is open to debate.
What's not open to debate is the frankly bullshit idea that they in any way validate your twisted idea of a deity or an afterlife.
